Hello Tone Capone -

I always fly from Newark, NJ with Eva Airways. I normally fly in the Evergreen Deluxe section (apply for the free evergreen card). There is ample legroom and the food and service are very good. Well worth the money.

As for food, I also tried living for a couple of dollars a day for food. I think very difficult to do. I tried eating lunch at the "all you can eat" salad bar (various soup included) at Sizzler's at ground floor, Royal Garden Plaza--for 99 baht.

i just got back from my last trip and i did manage on a few days to eat for $2/day.

i am not being cheap charlie it just happened, i stay at the areca lodge and they have buffet breakfast included it is excellent food i fill up in the morning and it keeps me going most of the day,and around 5ish i will go get a bowl of noodle soup and some sticky rice with pork,cost maybe 50baht still have change to have some other food in the bars at night.

i can highly recomend areca lodge very good value at 990baht a night incl breakfast and if you take a girl she eats for free too.

also has 2 pools and a gym,so i find i can relax by the pool after a big night out on the town.

20 days until I take off!!!

Any of you guys gonna be around?

Wanna meet up?

As far as eating for $2 it should be no problem, even eating at better places. breakfast, egg over rice = 20 baht. lunch at Foodland, cow tom gai (chicken rice soup) they are a bit more expensive, but it is a/c and use chicken breast meat = 40 baht, dinner = big C south, fried vegetable w chicken over rice = 25 baht, total = 85 baht ($2)! Just an example, as you can eat anywhere at these prices or less.

Hi guys, I've just registered here. I've been to Funtown about 10 times and will be back oct 11-17. A very quick one this time unfortunately.

Tone and anyone else who'll be there I'd be happy to meet up and have a few beers...and more cheers

Cool. Which bar you wanna meet up at?

well, i like tq1, the sea and peppermint, for example...any preference?

tone, i flew eva last time i went to funtown. that was last may. it was an old jumbo with no individual screens. i got emergency exit seats for being 1st to check in. fine food GORGEOUS ladies. fine flight yes, but it was not thai air!!!

dingdong,

you do have to request the "evergreen" class to get these secreens and bigger seats.

And pay bit extra

And I guess it depends on avaiability on certain airplanes...

indeed... as it happens, that flight was part of a kuoni package which was supposed to have the glorious phuket air... before their planes started to burst into flames or miss the landing strips!!! so, when phuket air got banned from the uk kuoni moved me onto a eva flight at no charge for me.

...what a breathtaking story...

cheers

I've only been to Pattaya once so i don't really have a preference. I'll be there on the 7th and am staying until the 18th. I can meet anywhere.

ok, so we could meet 11th oct. in tahitian queen beach road early afternoon. i'm scheduled to land that day at 10:30 am, then taxi to ekkamai and then bus to ptya. so who knows what time i'll be ready to raise my 1st chalice nearer the date we'll try to sort out the time.

Anyone else wanting to join us??

And soi 6 will be compulsory, i fear!!!

Sounds good. Don't see why we wouldn't be able to meet you in the evening, the more the merrier!

I can't be at the TQ in the afternoon and then we can role to Wonderful 1 in the evening and keep the party going! Anyone else?

yes, i've heard fine reports on flipper. from soi 8, walk along beach road and you'll get to tahitian. that's the 1st pattaya gogo opened in 1978 rock'n'roll and fine ladies...shit how much i miss pattaya

soi 6 was the scene of an assault and robbery to a brit. so much i read on pattaya mail...better go there in 2 or 3

still nothing has happened to me yet and soi 6 is still a must, no?

sorry, i didn't notice there was a page 4

tone: if you can't make it in tq no probs

tone and thaiflyer: i'll be in yamato in the evening of 11th

I will be at the TQ on the 11th at noon! Later during the evening we can hit yamato and meet up with thaiflyer... and yes soi 6 is a must

FYI, I'll probably be rocking a white t-shirt with "TONE CAPONE" written on it with a marker

If your looking at Soi 6 the afternoon may be better (without wishing to bring the topic down to Barladies.com and sloppy seconds).............if you guys can organise something i/m up for a night out....

yes, sorted yeah. still, tone, please note tq opens its heavenly doors at 1:30 pm if i'm not mistaken. so it's settled for tq afternoon 11th as soon as i've taken my arse to my apartment and all. thereafter, let the devil take us in his grace and show us some good time

Can't wait!!!!

Even though I have been excited about this trip since April, I haven't even packed and my flight leave tomorrow night!!! I think this time it's just gonna be a pair of shorts, a couple pair of pants, some t-shirts and socks and underwear.... and of course condoms and imodium a.d.

the raincoats can be bought in boots on walking street.

tone: keep posting from the frontline, so we can arrange a meet.

Sounds like a plan. There is an internet cafe in my hotel (not to mention on every corner as you know )
